Abstract: A combustion chamber for a turbojet engine is disclosed which utilizes double walled construction. Hot walls are attached to adjacent cold walls solely by an orifice member which defines an orifice to supply primary of dilution air to the combustion chamber. The attachment allows relative radial movement of the hot walls with respect to the cold walls so as to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of the hot walls. The sleeves forming the walls also cooperate so as to provide an internal cooling film on the interior surface of the hot walls. Convection cooling may also be utilized between the walls to prevent structural damage due to high temperatures.

Abstract: A fuel system for a turbojet engine is disclosed in which the operating parameters of the engine are improved throughout the range of engine operating conditions. The fuel system includes an enlarged intermediate bowl for the combustion chamber which increases the reactive volume, while at the same time provides sufficient cooling of the bowl to avoid burn-through or uneven engine operating characteristics. The bowl extends radially outwardly beyond an opening in the base of the combustion chamber and defines a row of air inlet orifices which serves to more completely atomize the fuel prior to its ignition. A diaphragm control system may also be utilized to control the amount of air flowing into the bowl as the engine speed changes.

Abstract: A swirler for a gas turbine fuel injection apparatus is disclosed in which the intake air is directed both axially and radially to maximize the efficiency of the gas turbine during all modes of operation. Circumferentially alternating axial and radial passages are defined by the swirler member surrounding the fuel injection nozzle. A diaphragm control is provided to selectively control the amount of air passing through the axial and radial passages, depending upon the operational mode of the gas turbine.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for controlling the flow of air through the air-fuel mixing device for a turbojet engine. The system simultaneously controls the amount of air passing through turbulence generating baffles and that passing into the combustion chamber depending upon the operating conditions of the turbojet engine.

Abstract: A fuel and air injection system for a turbojet engine is disclosed wherein a bowl-shaped member surrounding the fuel injection nozzle defines an impact cooling chamber divided into four sectors. A pair of diametrically opposite sectors have openings to permit air to pass through the cooling chamber into the combustion chamber, while opposite diametrically opposed sectors have openings of larger diameter which also allow communication between the cooling chamber and the combustion chamber. A diaphragm control system allows the air passing into the sectors having the larger diameter openings to be modulated depending upon the throttle setting of the turbojet engine.
